1945··on Say farewell to the AI bubble, and get ready for the crash
I should have said domain expert instead. These two casually chosen words really riled them up
1945··on Say farewell to the AI bubble, and get ready for the crash
The author isn't exactly a thought leader in the space, or really any space for that matter. Opinion worth nothing.

1945··on Order Declassifying JFK and MLK Assassination Records [pdf]
The same FBI that sent him anonymous letters, trying to encourage MLK to choose suicide?
1945··on GitLab Database Incident – Live Report
I applaud their honesty, most companies would choose to keep customers in the dark while the investigate "an incident."
1945··on I’m Joining LinkedIn
> downward popularity trend

Ember has always dwarfed by Angular and now more recently.. React. They simply have more marketing dollars behind them. That said, it has always had a strong community behind it, and believe it or not it's still growing strong.

And at that point I'd ask what are you optimizing for? Chances are JS is no longer your bottleneck.

1945··on Yahoo makes it difficult to leave its service by disabling email forwarding
That's assuming everyone composes e-mails through the web UI. Maybe they don't want to make that assumption.
1945··on Hundreds of Verizon customers are battling data over-limit fees
I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned, just enable Safety Mode and avoid overages..

1945··on Verizon nears deal to acquire Yahoo
She inherited a mound of shit. The one mistake I'll admit she made was not gutting management when she came in. It is, and was, completely dysfunctional at the management level. The only people rewarded were those willing to play the political games.
1945··on Nest’s time at Alphabet
> Well, it's not like there's been any positive Nest press in the last year or so to obsess over.

Their performance versus the rest of the Google ventures? The product line that was previously leaked? And, in the eyes of Hacker News perhaps celebrating Tony stepping aside.

A lot of these stories, if they are in fact true, likely happened prior to Google acquisition and those people are now just feeling comfortable to speak out without the fear of it being spun as retaliation.

I have a lot of faith that the Google HR department wouldn't tolerate any of the behavior, which is why it smells like a marketing campaign.

1945··on Nest’s time at Alphabet
Hacker news is oddly obsessed with negative Nest press. Suspiciously so.
1945··on Housing in the Bay Area
That's not the current environment.
1945··on Housing in the Bay Area
Can we scale the schools, transportation, etc. to support this legislature? If so, I'm all for it. But the way things stand currently, it's already pushed to the limits.
1945··on Norway's $860B Fund Drops 52 Companies Linked to Coal
Absolutely, but it by no means marks the bottom. Have a look at the last 5 years of KOL (ETF because I can't recall the coal futures symbol).
1945··on Norway's $860B Fund Drops 52 Companies Linked to Coal
It's likely not out of the goodness of their heart but rather coal's terrible performance. There is a bankruptcy filing every other week. This week alone the largest miner, Peabody, filed for bankruptcy.
1945··on IRCv3
Yes, over SSL.
1945··on Yahoo’s Brain Drain Shows a Loss of Faith Inside the Company
> indiscriminately

There is /a lot/ of debt at Yahoo, I think 10% doesn't even begin to cut through the majority of the fat. Unfortunately, most of issues stem from middle management that seem to avoid the layoff cycles.

1945··on Why Coinbase is now hiring remote engineers
I imagine this strategy works against them as I can't think or a single respectable engineer who would be willing to do this. It may work in their favor of recent college grads.. but certainly not seasoned engineers.
1945··on JetBlue Shakes Up Pilot Hiring by Training Them from Scratch
That's terrifying.
1945··on In Zimbabwe, We Don’t Cry for Lions
Big game hunting. Important words you dropped. And the reason it is a mental sickness is because they're not hunting for food or survival, they're hunting for the sake of destroying life.
1945··on Balanced payments is shutting down
Balanced really had a nice web app. Kudos to their team.
1945··on JavaScript Internationalization API
http://formatjs.io/ provides a nice set of integration libraries wrapping Intl for Handlebars, React, and Dust.
1945··on N.F.L. Playoff Simulator
Great work, looking forward to see the implementation.
1945··on Last Time It Was This Crazy, the Stock Market Crashed
The market has the capacity to stay irrational. I would not start shorting after a 3-4% pullback..
1945··on sshrc – make your ssh sessions feel like home
I wanted this 10 years ago, thank you!
1945··on Yahoo stopping all new development of YUI
ExtJs is still alive and well.
1945··on How Much Should a Landlord Pay a Tenant to Move Out of an Apartment?
You own it, you can do whatever you want on the property (within reason..). If you want to evict a tenant, that's your right and the state/city/federal government should not have a place in intervening.
1945··on Introducing Yahoo Stores
Nothing about this looks 1999.
